What is a 15-minute City, and why is it causing so much debate? The 15-minute city is an urban planning initiative stating that most daily necessities and services, like work, shopping, education, healthcare, and leisure should be easily reached by a 15-minute walk or bike ride from any point in the city. The goal is to reduce car dependency, promote healthy and sustainable living, support climate resiliency targets, and improve city dwellers' well-being and quality of life. However, in 2023, planners, politicians and civic workers have been involved in some unexpected and uncomfortable debates over the idea. With conspiracy theorists spreading the idea that the concept of 15-Minute Cities is a scheme to restrict movement and control citizens, Canadian Planners from coast to coast have been forced into some difficult conversations at their public engagement sessions. For a concept that encapsulates all the positive aims of designing cities into something of a catch-all buzzphrase, this negative interpretation has caused no shortage of confusion in the ranks. It may be tempting to dismiss these theories. Still, one of the key roles of a planner is to educate, so we have collected the following links to help anyone who is interested to come to a better understanding of this topic and its intricacies right now. Check out our discussion story highlight for some interesting articles on the topic. Lightbox link for post with description What is a 15-minute City, and why is it causing ...

Daniel MacGregor presented yesterday on day two of the 2023 CPAA Conference about how rural municipalities can reimagine underutilized spaces to create new opportunities and amenities for their community. We learned from our peers, including the keynote presentations from Ryan Jespersen, Alifeyah Gulamhusein, Chris Fields and more. We're excited for more sessions today as the conference wraps up today. #cpaa2023 #alberta #planning #conference2023 Lightbox link for post with description Daniel MacGregor presented yesterday on day two ...
